A recent study published in the Journal of Neurosurgery compared results from the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) with the Oswestry Disability Index and the 36-Item Short Form Survey to analyze its effectiveness for patients having minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS TLIF).
The study concluded that PROMIS scores correlated well with traditional indexes and surveys, with fewer questions, and can be successfully applied in assessing physical function in patients undergoing this procedure. Read the full article to learn about other conclusions drawn from the study.
Researchers and clinicians using DADOS Electronic Data Capture Platform have access to more than 40 PROMIS-CAT tools, allowing them to measure their patients’ progress with the fewest number of questions.
